The  end  goal  of  all  reading  instruction  is  to  help  students  develop  strong  comprehension  skills  and  become  independent,  proficient  readers.  The  Massachusetts  Curriculum  Framework  in  ELA  and  Literacy  requires  that  students  read  and  comprehend  both  complex  literary  and  informational  text.      Literacy  instruction,  therefore,  includes  routine  practice  with  complex  text.  The  documents  that  follow  provide  a  roadmap  to  assist  in  planning  a  coherent  literacy  block.  Use  each  of  the  tools  found  in  this  guide  to  develop  and  support  students’  access  to  complex  text  and  improve  literacy  instruction  overall.  Please  see  the  curriculum  guide  for  detailed  information  on  reading  concepts  and  practices.      

TOOLS  TO  ACCESS  COMPLEX  TEXT    

• Literacy  Block  Schedule:  This  schedule  provides  an  outline  for  a  typical  week,  in  which  students  are  engaged  in  specific,  purposeful  strategy  instruction.  

 • Close  Reading  Schedule:  This  schedule  provides  an  outline  for  specified  weeks,  in  which  students  are  engaged  

in  the  practice  of  close  reading.  o Grades  1-­‐2:  1  close  reading/unit  o Grades  3-­‐5:  2  close  readings/unit  

 • Unit  Planning  at  a  Glance:  These  maps  outline  the  scope  and  sequence  and  the  materials  necessary  to  

develop  strong  readers  in  every  classroom,  including  essential  reading  strategies  students  will  apply  and  integrate  independently  during  close  reading  practice  (on  said  alternating  weeks).  

 • Open  Response  Questions:  These  open  response  questions  serve  as  one  means  of  developing  critical  readers  

and  writers,  by  asking  students  to  demonstrate  their  understanding  in  writing.    • Culminating  Writing  Tasks:  The  culminating  writing  tasks  serve  as  one  means  of  developing  critical  readers  

and  writers,  by  asking  students  to  demonstrate  their  understanding  in  writing.
